If you or someone you know is ever in an accident involving a head injury, seek emergency medical attention immediately. Injury Risks The head and neck region of the body is one of the most[..]

They are neither high arched nor flat footed. Generally speaking, runners with this feet also have an efficient running gait. Their foot rolls with the ideal amount when hitting the ground. This rolling action called pronation minimizes the impact the lower body goes[..]

p>Our take on what an Access Audit should give to the client A DDA Audit should give the client clear, unambiguous advice to help the client to improve the accessibility of their service to members of the public and thus offer them protection under the DDA. When dealing with buildings the DDA auditor should 'follow the journey' of a customer or visitor starting from the site boundary (or even beyond) and then working systematically through the building and facilities as a member of the public would. Thus one would typically expect DDA audit headings to begin with Approach and Car Parking and then lead to Entrances, Reception, Corridors, Vertical Circulation, Toilets, Meeting Rooms etc[..]

Over the past decade, spinal fusion has also had a less than bright reputation as a treatment for pain. Given the overall perception that fusion of the spine is a delicate surgery with questionable outcomes, patients are quite concerned about proceeding[..]

When day to day living becomes a chore due to the pain, its time to get to the operating room.

For instance, your surrounding musculature will undergo a shortening process which leads to contractures with the hamstrings or quadriceps which will prevent[..]
